This invention relates to sweat bands for hats, and has for one of its objects the provision of a sweat band provided with means to prevent perspiration and other oily matter from reaching the hat proper, and so prevent the hat from becoming stained from such causes.

Another object of the invention is to provide a hat sweat band with a perspiration insulating medium secured by one row of stitches to the sweat band, and by a second row of stitches to the hat.

Other objects and advantages will appear as the nature of the improvements is better understood, the invention consisting substantially in the novel arrangement and corelation of parts herein fully described, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings wherein similar reference characters are used to describe corresponding parts throughout the several views, and then iinally pointed out and specifically defined and indicated in the appended claim.

The disclosure made the basis of exemplifying the present inventive concept suggests a practical embodiment thereof, but the invention is not to be restricted to the exact details of this disclosure, and the latter, therefore, is to be understood from an illustrative, rather than a restrictive standpoint.

The inventive idea involved is capable of receiving a variety of mechanical expressions, one of which, for the purpose of illustration, is shown in the accompanying drawin s, in which Y igure 1 is a face view of my improved sweat band partly broken away.

Figure 2 is a fragmental sectional view through a hat showing one form of my improved sweat band as secured thereto.

Figure 3 is a fragmental perspective view of a modified form of my invention and Figure 4 is a similar view of another modiiied form of the invention.

In the present day method of attaching sweat bands to hats, the sweat band securing thread comes in direct contact with the head of the wearer and the hat, thus providing a direct passage for perspiration from the head of the wearer to the hat causing same to V@become stained. Inorderito-obviate thisfundesirable fcaturel I lhavef perfectedfmyifnew and improved sweat band.

The sweat band may be attached-to the-hat the hat material and both plies of each. ff-.the

band 5. insulator between the hat and the stitches 10, and the sweat band 5 insulates the band securing stitches 16 from coming in Vcontact with the head of the wearer.

The strips 6 and 7 may be made of any suitl able material, preferably a material having a rubberized surface. If desired a coating 18 of rubber cement may be applied to the innerV surface of the strip 7 so that all of the plies may be made to adhere together after the;

sweat band is secured to the said strips 6 and 7 and provide a firm base for attaching the sweat band to the hat. p

In Figure 3 I have shown a modified form of my invention in which the strips 6 and 7 are secured to the sweat band 5 by a row of stitches 20 passing through plies 21 and 22 respectively and through the sweat band.

In this manner the ply 12 acts as an i' The remaining plies are glued together but Y a space'is left at the folded edge 23 for the` insertion of the reed 9. To secure the as-l sembled sweat band to the hat aV row of stitches is passed through all of the plies and the hat material as in the form shown in Figures l and 2. Y

In the Figure 4 form of my invention the plies and 26 of theV strips 6' and 7 are sewn to the sweat band 5 by al row of stitches 27, the ply 28 of the Vstrip 6 is pa-stedto the Ply 25, the reed 9 is inserted at the foldedV100 over portion of the said strip 6V and the assembledsvveat band is secured to the hat as in the previously described forms.

From the foregoing it Will be seen that I have provided a simple yet efficient sweat band construction that Will prevent the sweat band hat securing thread or stitches from coming into contact with the head of the wearer and thus eliminate all danger of stainl ing the hat by any perspiration or oily substance from the hair or 'head-of the'Wearer.

It Will also be seen that the strip securingv stitch forming thread is insulated from the hat material, likewise preventing any stainfing of the hat. v y

`rHaving described my invention What I Vclaimzas nevvl and desire to secure'loy Letters Patent is Incombination'with hatyavhat hand y therefor Comprising a mainband, a pair of superposed folded over strips securedv to the main band by a rovir of stitches passing through a single ply of the outer strip,
